Perimenopause symptom?

Body: 

I think I accidentally posted this originally under the wrong place oops!!

Hi! I am brand new here, waiting for the new course to become available. I have only had one incidence where I thought I must be experiencing a prolapse but I'm not positive. I went to the bathroom after a strenuous day of lifting and working and when I wiped there was something hard at the very opening of my vagina. I was really freaked out so I laid with my hips elevated for a couple of hours and it seemed to go away. Hoping that I can find answers as I read through the forum.
Now, my question is, I am almost 52, I have had 7 babies (all vaginal births) and I haven't really had any symptoms of menopause. I have always had easy periods but lately I am having a very watery discharge that gushes out for a week or so and then when I start my cycle there are lots of large blood clots (about 2" x 1"), has anyone experienced this? Is it a symptom of perimenopause? It is almost like the plasma from the blood is coming out and then the clots? Does that make sense? After the clots come out I have 5-10 minutes of sitting on the toilet waiting to stop bleeding enough that when I stand up I don't soak my pad. Hoping to find out if others have this same issue? Thanks so much!
